CU LlNARY VESSEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part` of Letters Patent No. 714,488, dated November 25, 1902.

Application filed, June 5, 1902. Serial No. 110,315. (NO mddel.)

To @ZZ whom t may con/cern:

Be it known that we, FRANK A. JOHNSON and WILLIAM I. BORELL, citizens of the United States, residing at Reading, in the county of Berks and State of Pennsylvania,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Culinary Vessels; and We do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such Io as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use'the same.

This invention relates to improvements in culinary vessels and is intended more particularly for use on vessels in which the cook- 'ing of foodstuffs producing obnoxious odors is carried on.

The object of the invention is to produce a vessel in which the steam and odorarising from the boiling contents thereof will be conzio veyed from the vessel through the stove and out through the draft-stack or chimney without permitting its escape into the room.

To this end our invention consists in the details of construction as fully set forth in the `2 5 following specification and clearly illustrated i in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l is a plan view of our vessel. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

The vessel has a circular body portion a,

` `3o is provided with a cover h, and has an outthe contour of the body portion and extends upward within the body and terminates short of the top thereof. One wall of this tube contaets for its entire length with the inner face of the body. A suitable cover b is placed on the vessel when cooking, and any desirable means may be employed to raise or carry the vessel; but we have preferably shown an ordinary handle secured to the outside of the body portion diametrically opposite the tube c.

When the vessel is placed over an opening in the stove-top and the contents thereof attain a boiling-point, the steam, as well as the odor arising therefrom, will pass out through the tube c and the opening d into the firechamber of the stove and will be carried therefrom, together with the gases, through the usual outlet or chimney.

The annoyance of steam, and particularly the obnoxious odors arising from cooking of foods of dierent kinds, is entirely overcome by the use of our improved device.

Having thus fully described ourpresent invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A device of the class described, consisting of a base provided with an upwardly-extending flange, remote from its edge, a body portion, the lower edge of which is secured to the base, within the liange, said base being provided at one point with an elongated aperture located in close proximity to the body portion, a tube surrounding the aperture and integral with the base, said tube conforming in shape with the contour of the body, and with one wall contacting with the inner face of the body, for its entire length, the whole terminating short of the top of the body, a handle secured to the body, anda cover adaptedto close the vessel.

In testimony whereof we affix our signa- ED. A. KELLY, Jos. R. DIoKINsoN.
